configuring metadata for Net+ Box SP

We are a brand new sign up to the Net+ Box service and are beginning our
implementation/roll-out of which Shibboleth SSO is a large part of. I had
my initial SSO talk with Box just the other day where there are a few
things I'm not used to on the IdP configuration side I wanted to ask about.
Admittedly, the majority of our campus' work with shibb has been on the IdP
side and in the context of federation. I understand Box is not yet there
with being able to deal with the InCommon metadata, so instead a more
direct pairing of IdP + SP is needed. So my question is around the correct
setup for the Box SP metadata in my IdP? Box mentioned something that was
new to me... that they did not use certificates to sign their metadata as
is typical of the shibb world, so we would need to give the IdP an
exception to not worry about unsigned metadata (there was some mention they
could sign if they had to, but would prefer for us to make the exception).
Is anyone familiar with this, how to set it up, or what the Box metadata
should look like? I think I can handle the appropriate attribute mappings
once I'm able to get the metadata and relying-party set up correctly. any
examples you're willing to share would be much appreciated.
